About Me

Hi there! My name’s Miguel A. Suro (The Rich Miser™), and I am a lawyer and journalist from Miami. I practice law full-time, and try to enjoy a balanced and fulfilling life with my friends and family when I’m not at work.

This is me and my amazing wife, Lily:

Lily Rodriguez and Miguel Suro

I’ve always had something of an obsessive personality and loved to read all sorts of articles and blogs (maybe that’s why I went into law). I’m the kind of person that buys a bottle of Advil and reads the entire label 🙂

Over the years, that obsessiveness grew into the area of my personal finances, and I started looking into all kinds of tips, tricks, and hacks to save money, while at the same time living well. I started with travel hacking, by poring over points and miles blogs like One Mile At A Time and View From the Wing.

Then, I got married to my wonderful wife Lily, who taught me even more about saving money, especially when it comes to shopping.

So, one day I realized that I was gaining all of this knowledge, and that I could combine it with my love of reading and writing to start a blog. And that’s how The Rich Miser was born! If you’re curious, I got the name from Scent of a Woman, from the scene where Chris O’Donnell asks Al Pacino if he’s a rich miser. The concept behind it, as I’ve adopted it, is to build wealth and live well (even a little glamorously), but be something of a miser when it comes to spending. Buy the nice things, but not too many, and never paying retail.

I hope you enjoy my writings and find them useful. I also love learning and bettering myself and The Rich Miser, so I’d be more than grateful if you let me know when I miss something, or when I could make something better. You can contact me here.

Thanks for reading!
